[broadly, a 'seismic' listening technique could help researchers map water movement, moisture levels in soil, with these researchers at Caltech have figured out a way to use vibrations from passing cars to see how much water sits directly beneath the ground’s surface…]

The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile is lowest along the northern and southern borders of the continental U.S.
#SoilMoisture #drought

That's a delightful sight for Mid August - at least for #SoCal

The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile shows driest soil in #Texas, in the Pacific Northwest, #Montana, North Dakota and #Missouri.
The calculated soil moisture anomaly map shows the largest deficits west of the upper Mississippi River in Missouri and Iowa.
#drought #SoilMoisture

Both the calculated soil moisture ranking percentile and the calculated #soilmoisture anomaly indicate exceedingly dry conditions in eastern #Nebraska and northern #Missouri.

The Topsoil Percent Short to Very Short shows driest conditions in the Central and Southern Plains and increasing dryness in parts of the Eastern US.
The Subsoil Percent S/VS map shows conditions drying most along parts of the East Coast.

#soilmoisture #drought

The calculated soil moisture anomaly and calculated soil moisture ranking percentile maps show how parched the Central and Southern Plains continue to be, as well as Florida and eastern Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
#drought #soilmoisture

The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile map shows intensely dry conditions in the Central and Southern Plains, and parts of Florida, Delmarva Peninsula, Louisiana and Montana.
The calculated #soilmoisture anomaly puts driest conditions in the Southern Plains.
Notice how wet California is. Florida has quite a contrast between the dry area and the wet area around Fort Lauderdale that has been inundated with rain in recent days.
#drought

The calculated soil moisture anomaly (mm) and calculated soil moisture ranking percentile show parched conditions in the Central and Southern Plains, along the East Coast, Southeast and in the Pacific Northwest.
#drought #SoilMoisture
https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Soilmst_Monitoring/US/Soilmst/Soilmst.shtml

The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile is extremely low in the Central and Southern Plains, the Southeast and in pockets of the Northwest. In contrast, California, the Southwest and parts of the eastern US are at their wettest.
#SoilMoisture #drought

The Ensemble-mean soil moisture percentile map shows values in the very low percentiles in the Central Plains, the Northwest and the Southeast. Extremely high #SoilMoisture also exists in parts of the West that have received abundant moisture.
https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Drought/Monitoring/smp.shtml#

The calculated soil moisture anomaly indicates driest soil in parts of the Central and Southern Plains, the Midwest and the Southeast.
The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile reveals soil in the driest percentile in the #Texas and #Oklahoma panhandles and #Oregon.
#Kansas #drought #soilmoisture

The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile shows soil in the 1% ranking in the Central and Southern Plains and in the Northwest.
The calculated soil moisture anomaly (mm) indicates the largest anomalies in the Central and Southern Plains and also in the Midwest.
